HS Code 3306Oral or dental hygiene preparations; including fixative pastes and powders; yarn used to clean between the teeth (dental floss), in individual retail packages
3 six-digit codes · Heading 6 of 7 in Chapter 33 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 3306 is where customs files toothpaste, dental floss and similar mouth-care goods. Read on to see which code fits your product and how this heading differs from its neighbours.
“Oral or dental hygiene preparations; including fixative pastes and powders; yarn used to clean between the teeth (dental floss), in individual retail packages” divides three ways under heading 3306 — 330610, 330620 and 330690. Each carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 6 of 7 in Chapter 33, Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, which runs to 29 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 3306 covers
Think of anything used to keep teeth and gums clean. Toothpaste is the usual example. Dental floss is another. Denture fixative pastes and powders also belong here, because the heading names them.
One rule matters. Floss counts under this heading only when it is sold in individual retail packages. Floss on a large industrial reel is a different case, so check the pack before you classify.
People also search for this heading as HSN code 3306 or HTS code 3306. These names point to the same first digits of the same Harmonized System. Each country then adds its own digits afterwards. The wider family is the Chapter 33 group of cosmetic or toilet preparations.
Six-digit codes under HS 3306: toothpaste, floss and the rest
Here is a short plain-word label for each code.
The six digits are the same in every country. Each country can add national digits after them, which is why a customs form may show a longer code. Duty and GST rates are set on those national lines, so this page lists no rates. Use the HS code classifier to find the full line for your market.
- 330610: dentifrices. This is the code for toothpaste.
- 330690: all other oral or dental hygiene preparations, such as denture fixative pastes and powders.
How to choose between 330610, 330620 and 330690
Start with the product itself. If it is a dentifrice, such as toothpaste, use 330610. If it is yarn made to clean between the teeth, use 330620. If it is an oral hygiene preparation that is not a dentifrice, use 330690.
The last code is a catch-all, so be careful. Use it only after you have ruled out the other two. Denture fixative pastes and powders fit there because they are not dentifrices.
Customs classification follows the exact words of the code. Read the description, then compare it with your product label and packing. If you are unsure, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.
HS 3306 vs 3304, 3305 and 3307
Three nearby headings are easy to confuse with 3306. The test is what the product is for.
Heading 3304 covers beauty, make-up and skin care preparations, including sunscreen and manicure or pedicure products. Heading 3307 covers pre-shave, shaving, after-shave and bath preparations, personal deodorants, depilatories and room deodorisers.
Heading 3306 is the one for the mouth and teeth. If a product cleans teeth or holds dentures, look here first. If it is for skin, hair, shaving or the bath, look at the other headings.
